Changing of the guard


At Matt's invitation, I'm posting  a Newton bird sighting list. This is what was around my feeder this morning. No photos, sorry! I was admiring the differences in flight style between the two nuthatches, when a Red-bellied Woodpecker appeared on the tree. After a while it flew off, and was immediately replaced with a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker! I haven't see one of these birds in quite a while.

  1. Welcome aboard Haynes! Thanks for the yard/feeder list. I have yet to find a sapsucker in MA, good to know one has been spotted close by.
